before you debate barack obama on foreign policy, you better finish the debate with yourself. >> did you ever think john kerry would use that line in his own speech? any way, here's the the question. if romney had not provided an opening by omitting afghanistan from his speech, we had seen such a heavy emphasis by democrats on the war, patriotism and veteran's issues, there were moments we looked around and thought which party is staging this event. romney did hold an event yesterday with veterans in new hampshire, but it paled with what the obama campaign put on last night. with 60 days to go, what's the state of the race? romney entered the summer slightly behind and had a few opportunities the change that. so far, he's not been able to do that. the summer was a battle. the president won that. romney had to spend his convention fixing his biography. we'll see if the president ticks up a point or two. at worse, president basically got by another moment. president hasn't broken open this race, but you saw the building up of the president as the man by michelle. you had the contrast a

we had this debate over health care. one of the things we learned in this are the lessons that candidates and the party will take away is from president obama and that's to make early investments. that is to expand the map. that is to be on the ground, invest in data. invest in infrastructure. the 50 state strategy was a precursor to what barack obama it did. we're going to continue that. >> and, shawn, you have a problem with the more people that vote, the less likely the republicans can vote? >> we did very well in a lot of places. our ground game in every battleground state was up from 2008. it wasn't up enough except ohio probably. so i think what we need to do and what we are doing right now, the chairman has undertaken a full review of our ground game, our messaging, the metrics. everything that we can do in terms of messaging mechanics, tactics, what did we do well? let's do more of that. what did we not do as well and how can we do better. >> priebus is running for another term. >> i had a discussion with debbie.
